update: im going to try selling my zj to a dealership i found a deal i cant resist. its a 1999 wj black limited v8 4x4 with 124,000 for $2,000!!! it has no ac and the door panel is falling off but im gonna check it out and see how it runs god i want a wj i mean all the cool kids here got one so i figure if i cant beat em ill join em

hahaha ive still got my lift im gonna have to sell it on here if i get the dub. parts off my zj ill be selling will be front tow hooks, clear corners, 5.9 grille, and a 3.5" iro lift with rear trackbar so stick around first come first serve

ok as fast as the dub was i figure ive already dumped or "invested" sorry too much money into it to sell it to someone else for nothing. so build resumes im getting my lift put on this sunday or the next for sure. sorry for all of those that wanted my stuff but im keeping it! pics will follow soon

ok i need help! i met this guy and hes a member off mallcrawlin whos gonna help me put on my lift and he was tellin me that my driveshaft isnt going to last long and im hoping someone here can chime in and school me on some stuff. i have a 249 tc with the cv style driveshaft (i think i just saw that theres a rubber boot so i assume it is) i plan on doing a 242 swap in the future so what all do i need to change? and how long is my rig gonna last when it is lifted with the 249 and cv ds? oh yeah its the iro 3.5" lift with front and rear track bars

You will need a U joint yoke for the front axle and a single/double cardan front driveshaft.

which zjs typically have the ujoints? and will i have to worry about length of the ds if i find one at the jy

They're more likely on a 4.0 ZJ. You should be alright at 3.5" with a stock length driveshaft out of a 96-98 4.0 ZJ. The 93-95 ZJ's with a 5.2 and 249 have the longest driveshaft out of all the factory ZJ's as far as I know.

i was looking at rockauto parts and found this, this is the ujoint yoke correct? and if so i will just need this and dc driveshaft with ujoints, what about the back of the ds where it goes into the transfer case does that need to be u joint as well or cv?

That's the double cardan yoke for the driveshaft. That will not bolt up to your axle. You need something that looks like this:

Driveshafts typically have a slip joint built in so they can extend with the suspension. Is this what you're thinking of?

idk i dont really know much about this kind of stuff im trying to learn as best i can theres just so many little parts and things its alot to comprehend. ive read over the 242 swap threads and it still confuses me lol maybe im just slow idk but it just seems that theres alot of different variables to pinpoint exactly what I need
